Watch out Dave,

Once Terri gets her licence, then the shoe box is out the window and you follow in the coaster.

Hi Dave,
Nice looking unit! I assume it's a 28-footer?? (Judging from the overhang in the pix.)

I think I hold the lap record for Bathurst in a m/h: 9m 58s (SWB Coaster).

Skyline was underwear-changing territory @ 20km/h! :shock:
At least I stuck to the 60km/h limit down ConRod! ;)
Have not yet tried a lap in Girt (see avatar), but I assume she would be slower. She has a 6.5 litre V8 turbo diesel, but she's dragging just under 10 tonnes compared with the Coaster's 4.4t.
Is there a category for motorhomes with Toads attached? :lol:

Has Terri booked the training for the MR licence which I assume you'd need? Same as Girt.

And what about a name??
Regards & God bless,
Ray

I have asked her to get a HR licence, just in case someone wants to be pedantic about towing a trailer.
We are still debating the name for the new toy, it will sort itself out soon enough. I wanted to call it Harvey, but that is taken, apparently.
It is a 30 footer with more grunt than I expected, heaps more than the non-turbo Coaster could muster.
About halfway through the Dipper I suggested that the bride holds the camera because I was getting a little busy. Same in the middle of the Chase. Those boys in the V8's make that look easy at warp speed.
The day we went around everyone did 60k down Conrod because there was a speed camera available to give an exact figure via the post.
Cheers

Still got Bandit 1 Dot, he isn't planning on going anywhere except where we go. Bandit arrived on the scene at the same time as we bought the Jimny. Which is called Smoky unfortunately. Bloody idiot relatives gave him that name. And it doesn't ever use a drop of oil.
